While working as an intermediary between two rival drug lords, Crockett loses his memory in a boat explosion. Upon awakening he has amnesia, and is led to believe he is Sonny Burnett- a cold blooded, ruthless, menacing killer who now works for Manolo (one of the drug lords he was pursuing). When time passes and Sonny's body is never found, certain clues lead Tubbs to Manolo- and his new right hand man.
Review: The strength of the final two episodes of this season ending cliffhanger almost make the viewer forget how uneven the fourth season of Miami Vice really was. The writers truly saved their best for last as you become immersed in the storyline and all of the events leading up to its stunning conclusion. The "reunion" of sorts between Crockett and Tubbs is probably the most shocking moment of the entire series. There are plenty of plot twists here, but nothing to where you lose sight of what is going on in the story (sometimes a problem in Miami Vice episodes). Miami Vice was always known not only for its A-list of guest stars, but also for its impressive list of future stars. A young Julia Roberts and Chris Cooper (long before their Academy Award wins) highlight the supporting cast. And we can't forget Antonio Fargas (Huggy Bear-Starsky and Hutch) as the two-timing, ruthless Alejandro Gutierrez. It really doesn't get much better than this as far as Miami Vice goes. A MUST SEE episode.
5 out of 5 stars
